1. INTRODUCTION

In July 2004 the regulatory authorities of the Mode S implementing States agreed to extend the transition arrangements for Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance during which a coordinated exemption policy will be applied for State Aircraft conditional on the adoption of some specific measures supporting the monitoring of the Mode S compliance status of State Aircraft. This document details the new transition arrangements and the process and procedures for managing the Mode S compliance status and the exemptions granted to State Aircraft. An Exemption Coordination Cell (ECC) was established within the Mode S Programme to process Mode S Enhanced Surveillance Compliance Registrations and applications for Exemption for civil aircraft operators. For reasons of confidentiality, State aircraft data will be processed via alternative mechanisms.

Mode S

Edition Number: 1.1 Released Issue Page 3

2. MODE S REQUIREMENTS

The details pertaining to the carriage of Mode S airborne equipment by State Aircraft within Mode S Elementary Surveillance (ELS) or Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) airspace are promulgated by the implementing States in Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC). Subsequently, these will be included within Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP), which are issued by the National Regulatory Authorities and within appropriate National Military Regulations. Conditions for obtaining Diplomatic Clearances from Mode S implementing States will refer to the relevant Mode S airborne equipment requirements.

2.1 Geographical area – Where will Mode S be implemented?

Civil ATC authorities have commenced their implementation of Mode S Elementary Surveillance in the airspace of Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Switzerland. Mode S Enhanced Surveillance will be implemented from 2005 onwards, initially in the airspace of Germany and the United Kingdom. France will follow in March 2006.

2.2 Mode S Elementary Surveillance - IFR & VFR airborne implementation

For all State Aircraft flying in Mode S designated airspace, the final date for compliance for the carriage and operation of Mode S Elementary Surveillance airborne equipment is 31 March 2009. The requirement is also valid for VFR flights conducted in Mode S designated airspace where the carriage and operation of SSR transponders is already mandatory. The Mode S transponder must comply with the provisions of ICAO Annex 10, SARPs, Amendment 77. The Mode S transponder must be an approved Level 2, as a minimum, compliant with JAA Technical Standard Order JTSO-2C112a, or an equivalent standard that is compliant with the relevant ICAO SARPs and which is acceptable to the approval authority. It also includes Aircraft Identification. The transponders need to support Surveillance Identifier codes. This rule is equally valid for State Aircraft operating frequently or only occasionally (less than 30 Hrs per airframe per annum) in designated Mode S airspace.

Mode S

Page 4 Released Issue Edition Number: 1.1

2.3 Mode S Enhanced Surveillance

Mode S Enhanced Surveillance builds upon the benefits of Elementary Surveillance and consists of the extraction of additional airborne data in the form of Downlink Airborne Parameters (DAP). This facilitates an increase in the safety and efficiency of ATM operations. The carriage and operation of Mode S Enhanced Surveillance functionality applies to “transport type” State aircraft with a maximum take-off mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum true cruising airspeed in excess of 250 kts and a “full” DAP capability, conducting IFR flights as GAT in Mode S Enhanced designated airspace for more than 30 hours per annum per airframe. The final date for compliance for the carriage and operation of Mode S Enhanced Surveillance airborne equipment is 31 March 2009 . • Under “transport type”, State aircraft are understood to be the types of aircraft as

mentioned in Annex A with a Mode S category of ‘EHS’. • Fighter & Training aircraft as well as Rotary-wing aircraft are not covered by the EHS

requirements. • “Full” DAP capability, as defined in Section 5, means that all 8 DAPs are available for

downloading. Where the parameter ‘Track Angle Rate’ cannot be provided, ‘True Air Speed’ should be used instead. If these conditions cannot be met the aircraft will not be considered “full” DAP capable.

• Existing / older transport type State aircraft receiving avionics upgrades which then

provide them with a full DAP capability are subsequently to be EHS equipped • All new and future transport type State aircraft are to be EHS compliant on delivery (if

they exceed the EHS weight & speed discriminants and therefore fall into the EHS category).

• Transport type State aircraft that are not eligible for Mode S EHS equipage need to be,

as a minimum, ELS compliant. The State Aircraft Operator can contact the Mode S Exemption Coordination Cell (ECC) for any clarification needed (See also Section 4.6).

2.4 Supporting measures

For reasons of confidentiality, data from State Operators will be handled differently from that received from commercial aircraft operators. A number of supporting measures were agreed allowing the regulatory authorities of the implementing States to monitor the Mode S

Mode S

Edition Number: 1.1 Released Issue Page 5

compliance status and exemptions granted to State Aircraft Operators. The following actions are required: • By 31 March 2005 – Operators of State Aircraft of EUROCONTROL Member States are

to have submitted plans detailing the parts of their fleets subject to Mode S airborne equipage and Mode S equipage plans for ELS and EHS for those aircraft (= ELS & EHS applicable fleets). These plans are to be updated yearly for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively.

o Plans on Mode S airborne equipage will be requested from State Operators

through the EUROCONTROL Civil-Military Standing Interface Committee (CMIC).

o Military Observers Organisations to the CMIC, when representing State Aircraft Operators from non-EUROCONTROL Member States (presently US Department of Defense and NATO), will equally be invited to submit their Mode S equipage plans.

o The plans are to be provided to the regulatory authorities of the Mode S

implementing States via the EUROCONTROL Military Unit (DG/MIL).

o The NATO ATM Committee (NATMC) with Cooperation Partners will be informed of these proceedings.

o State Regulators of the Mode S implementing States will inform ICAO EANPG

and request non-EUROCONTROL Member States to promulgate the Mode S equipage requirements to their National Military Authorities.

• By 31 March 2009 – 100 % of the applicable fleets are to be ELS or, as appropriate, ELS and EHS equipped.

4. PROCESS FOR REGISTERING COMPLIANCE OR REQUESTING EXEMPTION AGAINST THE MODE S REQUIREMENTS.

4.1 Process and Procedure

For confidentiality reasons, State Aircraft Operators will not be required to record each of their aircraft in the Exemption Co-ordination Cell (ECC) database. The compliance recording and exemption management process will be performed by the State Regulators of the Mode S implementing States through EUROCONTROL civil-military working arrangements i.e. the Civil-Military Standing Interface Committee (CMIC) and facilitated by the Military Unit (DG/MIL). The regulatory authorities will not award exemptions to individual aircraft but grant applicable fleet based exemptions through the endorsement/acceptance of the equipage plans submitted by an operator. These plans shall provide proof of intent and will show that the defined rates of percentage of fleet equipage are achievable and that viable plans to achieve 100% compliance by 31st March 2009 are established. These plans will cover both ELS and EHS airborne implementation. The procedure to be established is set out below. 1. The EUROCONTROL Civil-Military Standing Interface Committee (CMIC) will request

EUROCONTROL Member States and Military Observers Organisations, when representing State Aircraft Operators from non-EUROCONTROL Member States (presently US Department of Defense and NATO), to provide equipage plans for those parts of their fleets subject to Mode S airborne equipage. Annex A can be used to determine aircraft subject to Mode S EHS equipage.

2. State authorities will be requested to provide the information listed in Annex B to the

EUROCONTROL Agency Military Unit (DG/MIL) for consolidation. A contact person and email address will be communicated.

3. The initial information, required by 31 March 2005, will be consolidated by DG/MIL and

passed to the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States for their assessment.

4. The Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States will review the information

package assembled by DG/MIL and reach a consensus on the endorsements. Agreement entitles the aircraft identified in the submission to be exempted against Mode S requirements across the Mode S implementing States.

5. Fleet based exemptions will then be granted by the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S

implementing States and copied to the DG/MIL. DG/MIL will inform the Member States accordingly.

Mode S

Page 8 Released Issue Edition Number: 1.1

6. The Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States may request, on a bilateral basis, adaptations to the plans or request further information if it is believed that sufficient progress is not being achieved.

7. The information package shall be updated annually (for 31 March 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009) by the State authorities and sent to DG/MIL for consolidation and subsequent review by the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States.

8. A final review will be performed in April 2009 to ensure that 100% Mode S compliance of the applicable fleets has been achieved.

9. Long term monitoring of aircraft Mode S capability may be performed by National Regulatory Authorities and possible non-compliance will be subject to subsequent investigation.

10. Post 31st March 2009: [Existence of ECC post 2009 is still to be confirmed]

• After 31 March 2009, requests for special Mode S exemptions (see section 3) will be handled through the ECC.

• The ECC would distribute these requests to the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States and similarly, pass the Regulators assessments back to the State Operator.

• The intention is that the role of the ECC will be minimal in these matters (limited to posting of information and distributing correspondence to appropriate parties).

4.2 Role of the EUROCONTROL Military Unit (DG/MIL)

DG/MIL will perform a facilitator’s role to support the Regulators of the Mode S implementing States in endorsing the plans submitted by the State Aircraft Operators. In performing this role they will undertake the following tasks:

• DG/MIL will request fleet plans via CMIC. • DG/MIL will consolidate the information packages received from the State Aircraft

Authorities and distribute the consolidated information to the Regulators of the Mode S implementing States.

• DG/MIL will coordinate an annual update process whereby the take-up rate of Mode S airborne equipment in State Aircraft would be monitored.

• DG/MIL will publish and maintain the list of applicable aircraft (see Annex A).

4.3 Role of the Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States

The Regulatory Authorities retain control over authorization of flights within their sovereign airspace. They will grant exemptions to their own national, and foreign, State Aircraft through the endorsement/acceptance of the plans submitted by the State Aircraft Operators.

The Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States will permit foreign aircraft, identified in the information plans, to operate within their Mode S designated airspace without full compliance to ELS or EHS requirements.

Mode S

Edition Number: 1.1 Released Issue Page 9

The Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States may monitor the adherence to the occasional access rules and to the upgrade plans through corroboration of air traffic movements and flight plan information. Corrective actions will be coordinated with State Aircraft Operators as required.

The Regulatory Authorities of the Mode S implementing States would also ensure that as well as military aircraft, police and customs aircraft of their State were appropriately documented.

4.4 Role of State Aircraft Operators

The State Aircraft Operators of EUROCONTROL Member States and of Military Observers Organisations to CMIC, when representing State Aircraft Operators from non-EUROCONTROL Member States, will be required to notify their plans to DG/MIL on how they plan to equip applicable fleets of aircraft for ELS and EHS.

To gain access to European Mode S Enhanced designated airspace for less than 30 hours per annum, non-EUROCONTROL Member States would be expected to review the AIPs and to process requests via normal diplomatic clearance channels.

4.5 Role of NATO

In certain circumstances, such as managing specific aircraft or managing the ICAO 24-bit aircraft addresses allocated to NATO, NATO can be regarded as a State Aircraft operator. NATO will be required to adhere to the rules for State Aircraft Operators and may submit the appropriate information package directly to DG/MIL (copy to or via the National Regulatory Authorities of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

4.6 Role of the ECC

The ECC will ensure that appropriate information is published on the Mode S website (www.eurocontrol.int/mode_s ).

The ECC will act as a focal point for enquiries and requests for information will be processed via the most suitable channels. Contact information is as follows:

Mode S Enhanced Surveillance Exemption Co-ordination Cell EUROCONTROL Agency (Room 51.237) Rue de la Fusee 96 Brussels B-1130 Belgium

Or, via email to: Ecc.modes@eurocontrol.int In the longer term, post 31 March 2009, the processing of Mode S exceptional exemptions for State Aircraft will be determined by the national civil and military regulatory authorities of the Mode S implementing States.

5. DEFINITIONS

The following definitions are proposed (not in strict alphabetical order): • Aircraft Operator Fleet:

An Aircraft Operator’s fleet could be composed of several types and numbers of aircraft. Such a fleet could comprise: • non Mode S applicable aircraft (e.g. due to expected area of operation, size or

weight) • ELS Applicable Aircraft • EHS Applicable Aircraft

• ELS Applicable Fleet:

ELS Applicable fleet is composed of aircraft types and numbers for aircraft subject to ELS equipage requirements. It is recognized that a State Aircraft Operator is responsible for a diverse range of aircraft stationed at multiple locations, some of which may be expected to operate in notified Mode S airspace. It is therefore also recognized that not all aircraft in the State Aircraft Operator’s fleet will belong to the ELS applicable fleet.

• EHS Applicable Fleet:

EHS Applicable fleet is composed of aircraft types and numbers for aircraft subject to EHS equipage requirements. The aircraft types to be considered are in Annex A. “Transport type” aircraft incapable of providing the required DAP information do not belong to the EHS capable fleet. They should be listed under the ELS Applicable Fleet. It is recognized that a State Aircraft Operator is responsible for a diverse range of aircraft stationed at multiple locations, some of which may be expected to operate in notified Mode S airspace. It is therefore also recognized that not all aircraft in the State Aircraft Operator’s fleet will belong to the EHS applicable fleet.

• ELS Capable:

An aircraft currently required to carry and operate an IFF/SSR transponder is considered ELS capable.

• ELS Compliant:

Mode S

Edition Number: 1.1 Released Issue Page 11

An aircraft that is ELS compliant meets the following functionalities:

Mode S Elementary Surveillance functionality shall constitute the following transponder parameters and data formats for Ground Initiated Comm.-B (GICB) protocols as defined in ICAO Annex 10 volume III (Amendment 77 or later), Appendix 1: • 24 bit aircraft address, • SSR Mode 3/A • Altitude reporting in 25ft increments (or at least 100 ft increments – subject to

airframe capability, ICAO Annex 10, Vol IV 2.1.3) • Flight Status (airborne/on the ground) (ICAO Annex 10, Vol IV 23.1.2.8.6.7) • Data Link Capability Report (BDS 10 hex) • Common Usage GICB Capability Report (BDS 17 hex) • Aircraft identification (BDS 20 hex) • ACAS Active Resolution Advisory (BDS 30 hex) if ACAS equipped • The aircraft operator has to ensure that the aircraft reports a unique 24 bit aircraft

address as assigned by the appropriate State Authorities and as managed by the appropriate military domain (if applicable)

The functionality of Mode S airborne equipment shall comply, as a minimum, with the provision of ICAO annex 10, in particular Vol. III and IV as standardized in amendment 77 and with the appropriate technical standards. The installed equipment must be an approved level 2, as a minimum, Mode S transponder compliant with JAA Technical Standing Order JTSO-2C112a, or an equivalent standard that is acceptable to the certifying authority. Mode S equipped aircraft with gross mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed in excess of 250 knots shall be operated with antenna diversity as prescribed in ICAO Annex 10 Vol IV, 3.1.2.10.4 (Note, where it is impracticable to provide antenna diversity on a particular airframe, a derogation may be considered). To be ELS compliant the installation and equipment should meet JAA TGL 13 Revision 1.

• EHS Capable:

An ELS capable aircraft that is also capable of transmitting the specified 8 Downlink Aircraft Parameters (DAPs)See Note 1. Where the parameter ‘Track Angle Rate’ cannot be provided, ‘True Air Speed’ should be used instead. If these conditions cannot be met the aircraft will not be considered “full” DAP capable.
